There will be a new format. Bring a few of your own stamps relating to spring or flowers and any paper that you like and ephemera. We are each bringing a little bit of our own stuff and enough to share a little. Bring extra stamping paper so you can stamp images that you like that someone else brought. Also, do not forget the "Basic Stamping Kit" including, scissors, x-acto knife, ruler, double-sided adhesive, glue of your choosing, a basic black stamping pad (Memories or Archival are the best) a sponge and maybe a stipple brush or two. We are going to be making one or two cards while at the meeting and sharing ideas.

We are looking for new people with new ideas, so come on over. Leave questions here at the blog or email me at stampinheart@hotmail.com Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
